A blue-collar cafeteria with blue-ribbon Creole fare, this venerable establishment makes what is known as a “Ferdi Special,” which is baked ham, roast beef, and plenty of gravy, along with cabbage, pickles, mayo, and mustard, all piled into a length of crisp-crusted bread. It is a kaleidoscopic version of the classic New Orleans po boy. Celebrated red beans and rice, bread pudding, and even omelets too! This New Orleans landmark even has a dictionary of New Orleans style terms on the menu, which is actually very helpful for out-of-towners.
